Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians won a tough five-set match at Pottsboro on Tuesday, stopping short a furious Cardinals’ comeback that would have been tough to live with.
The Lady Indians are still trying to mesh their experience with their youth and almost gave away a match it looked like they had in the bag.
Nocona won a tight first set 25-21 before easily winning the second set with little trouble 25-10 to go up 2-0. Pottsboro would need to win three straight sets if it wanted to win, a small hope considering how the team had just been walloped in the second set.
Still, the momentum did turn and the Lady Cardinals came to win the next two sets 25-21 and 25-22 to force a fifth and final set.
Not wanting to go home a loser after blowing its lead, the Lady Indians pulled themselves together and washed Pottsboro in the fifth set, winning with little trouble 15-3 to win the match.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears lost a five-set match against Wichita Christian on Monday night.
The Lady Stars pulled out the win in the final set, but the Lady Bears made them work for it.
Gold-Burg was short three of its players and had move up some JV athletes to play. The Lady Bears won the first set 25-17, but just came up short in the second set losing 26-24.
The third set proved just as close as Wichita Christian again won by the narrowest margin 25-23 to take the lead. The Lady Bears came back to win decisively in the fourth set 25-20 to force a fifth and final set.
Unfortunately, it did not go Gold-Burg’s way as the Lady Stars won the set 15-9 to win the match.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
